MA WebCenters Standard Hosting Price Increase

We are very passionate about our product and all of the support we provide. Please know that we are constantly improving our product, support, and service in an effort to promote your success.

Maintenance Cost Increase

At the Breakout in Greensboro, we announced the increase to some of the service fees for your clients. Jason Pelland did a great job of explaining what these increases mean for your WebCenter business and we’ll be putting out some additional messaging and education around these increases in the coming weeks. Your client’s standard maintenance and management package is going from US$60 per month to US$79 on December 1st.

In the 17+ years that maWebCenters has been serving you, our costs have risen dramatically. Yet, we’ve only adjusted our rates once…ever! In this day and age of skyrocketing operating costs, we’d say a single rate increase over the course of 17+ years is something to be proud of. Now it is time to build for the future! maWebCenters is committed to reinvesting in our technology so we can continue to stay ahead of the pack and maintain our dominance in the marketplace.

For more than 17 years, maWebCenters has delivered leading-edge web tools to help grow and build business online. We are now in an era of exponentially increasing Internet activity. The rapid expansion of broadband Internet access and inexpensive cloud data storage has led to an explosion of online commerce with more sales, more research, and more people online for more time. These trends are expected to continue, especially with the growth of handheld devices, tablets, and smartphones. Worldwide Mobile eCommerce sales hit an astounding US$549 billion in 2017, up from US$429 billion in 2016. Maintaining a smart online presence is more important now, than ever before. Business owners know this, don’t you want to be the one that helps them get their business online?

We think it important to take a moment to share your maWebCenters platform most powerful features and briefly outline a few of the upgrades.

Or if they are available, it is an upgraded charge.

Sometimes a great looking website just isn’t enough for everyone. Some users want their content to really POP! So we created a way to incorporate dynamic animations that you can apply to the content on your client’s sites. These animations can be customized to make things fly onto or out of the page, fade in/out, expand, bounce…etc. These fun and eye-catching features are an easy way to spruce up your site and as usual, no programming knowledge necessary.
